First Rain

We had the first rain of the season yesterday and through the night. Got off to a solid start with 4.6 centimeters (about 1 and 7/8 inches.)

Hilary and I got in a little mountain time the day before the rains came. Walked up Echo Mtn and felt the first few drops up there. We saw a few deer and pink flowering buckwheat in this small remaining area of unburned wildness.

Then ran down and went to the cozy “Oh, Happy Days” natural food store/ magic veggie kitchen/ place for mountain folk… really nice for lunch on a cool winter-y day…
